36 Small But Wonderful Ways Your Guy Shows He Loves You

Grand gestures are great, but sometimes elaborate expressions of affection can seem a little over the top. With my boyfriend, it's the little things that really mean the most — the stuff that shows me that I'm on his mind or the things he does that I know he wouldn't do for anyone else (like wipe up my cat's vomit). That's love!

There's nothing like coming home from a long day of work to a glass of wine and a pair of comfy pants laid out for you, and you know you've snagged a keeper when they do sweet things without even thinking twice about it. If your significant other does any of these gestures below, then hang on to them!

You know your significant other really loves you when...

They make the bed (when you didn't even ask them to!).

They give you foot massages while you watch TV.

You get coffee or breakfast delivery in bed — and your drink is in your favorite mug.

They can tell in one look, and without a word exchanged, what you need in that moment.

A glass of wine is waiting for you when you walk in the house after a hard day.

They take your nail polish off your toes so you don't ruin your manicure.

They bring you your contact lenses case so you don't trip and fall on the way to find it.

They know that what you really want when you get off a plane is food, not flowers.

You don't need audiobooks because they read your favorite series out loud to you when you're driving on a long road trip.

They actually take an interest in your fashion choices.

They let you kiss them with bright lipstick on.

They unzip your pants when you have to pee and you just painted your nails.

They make little compromises, like keeping the house stocked with almond milk when they are a half-and-half type of person.

You find your phone plugged in and fully charged after leaving it unattended.

They prepare a bubble bath for you (and then let you enjoy it in peace).

They separate your clean clothes between the ones to hang dry and the ones that go in the dryer . . . or they do your laundry at all!
